Action from the game between Swarland and Lowick in the NNL, which Swarland won 7-0.

After a week off following The Queen’s death, local football returned on Saturday with a full fixture list.

Berwick Rangers were in Scottish Cup action, whilst there were matches played in the Border Amateur, Northern Alliance and North Northumberland Leagues.

Berwick Rangers exited the Scottish Cup when they went down to a 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Linlithgow Rose in the first round.

After falling behind to a first half goal, they were reduced to ten men when Michael Travis was sent off midway through the second 45.

Lewis Allan hit the bar with a curling effort, before David Ferguson scored from a corner after 74 minutes. It looked like the game was heading for a draw, but in the 91st minute Linlithgow grabbed a dramatic injury time winner when goalkeeper Calum Antell made a save, only for the home side to turn the loose ball into the net.

In the East of Scotland League, Tweedmouth Rangers lost 4-2 away to Lochore in the quarter-finals of the Alex Jack Cup, their goals coming from Cummings and Graham. Tweedmouth are home to Ormiston Primrose this Saturday (September 24).

In the C Division, Berwick Colts had a 1-0 away win over Jed Legion, making it three wins out of three. Highfields were due to take on Eyemouth United but the fixture was postponed because of a shortage of referees.

In the Northern Alliance League Division 2, North Sunderland beat Red House Farm 4-2 at home with Kyle Jeffrey bagging a hat-trick, the other goal coming from Ross Moore. On Saturday they have no game.
